ture Of lady and an unfinished letter, he is
supposed to have written, were found in his

Testing the Dynamite Gun.


WASHINGTON, April 22.-Secretary Whit
ney with view to demonstrate the value of
the invention, has directed the dynamite
gun board to test the pneumatic dynamite
gun In his letter to Capt. Howell, presi
dent of the board the secretary says:
''Sir-The recent appropriation act covers
a sum for experimental purposes in such
terms that / can now propose a thing which
l have long desired The dynamite gun
seems to be most formidable weapon. l
should ike to see it destroy something mile
distant. Will you quietly arrange for q
proper experiment that will illustrate salts
fa lively the efficiency or inefficiency of this
qua III it is destructible as it ought to be
luuging from the tables where the destruc-
tive qualities of torpedoes are given, it can
show it practically. 1t may fail in efficiency
i for some eaussssiet apparent to the eye OF
reason and in my experience, an actual
practical test but is about the best judge"
In later communication on the same sub
ject the secretary says: II intended that
the dynamite gun should have an opportun-
ity Of testing it's efficiency by blowing up
some OH ct at distance. 1t is claimed that
the present gun has a certain destructive
rowe / desire that this power may be
t supd: not the ultimate extreme claim for
company should say what the present gun
will certainly do. Will it destroy anythings
Ii so, under what conditions! Let it be tried
on these conditions, and it's ability tested to
accomplish the object claimed"

Good Luck I'm a HORSE Shoe,

One day when the temperature was in
the neighborhood Of nothing, a couple Of
colored inhabitants Of Bucktown were
overheard discussing the good luck which
a horse shoe brings. Both of the partici-
pants in the debate were of the feminine
gender. One was young, good looking
and fairly dressed, and affected all the
fashionable fun lows Of her white sisters,
while the other looked as IL she had been
a participant In the first Punic war. Her
face had been gashed with razor, one
eye was gone and as she walked she hob
bled as if one leg had stopped growing be-
fore the other had. She wore faded
calico dress, and there was nothing to in
dicate that she wore anything else to keep
off the keen and cutting air.
~ tell yo', Hannah, yo' ought ter git a
hOss shoe and nail ober yo' doah. Dare's
no better way ter keep out de cold and bad

though protected by cloak, was shiver-

the relic, as her teeth ratified together;
